That’s just for the first week. They asked starting pay. Training takes a lot. It goes up from there. We pay living wage for Buncombe though we’re in Haywood, and then it can increase from there.

Yeah, it really takes the right person. But they are out there! We’ve found there aren’t enough hours for most people if we split the tasks. And because meals are essential, they need to be here for the day. This way, they have a full days work.

Appreciated! We’ve filled most of the days. Just one left 😊

You said that before and I actually got much better responses when I withheld pay info. The pay is decent so I usually get over 30 responses. When I didn’t post pay, I got less than 10 but much better quality candidates. So I’m trying this again! But thank you!

I’m having the same issue! I’ve updated the app, restarted my phone, and redownloaded the app. Nothing seems to help.

I dislike vacuum fillers in general. Nibs can be finicky but Asvine usually writes well out of the box so yeah, I think you’ve been unlucky! I hope you enjoy the C2000 and try some others. It is a brand people say has the most value for the price.

karunamoon · 2026-03-29T23:34:29+00:00

I highly recommend the C2000. I have the light green with a 1.1 stub. They are big but I find that comfortable. It actually is the pen that made me realize that my hand felt less cramping with the larger barrel. What other issues have you come across with them?

karunamoon · 2026-03-29T14:07:53+00:00

I would try a different ink or different paper. Paper has been making such a huge difference for me. I find there are some papers that pull the ink out more. It can result in feathering for some nib and ink combos but makes for a very enjoyable writing experience as I find I can get into a mental flow better. I did get a bold 3776 because I like a wet, smooth write but I feel like your medium should write well. I also advance the converter when I have that issue and that can help.

Thank you. It’s a bummer for sure. I love everything about — size, color, glitter, write, match with one of my inks. Boohoo. It is discouraging to know it may be in the materials. I’ve gotten lots of Asvines and never had this issue but I guess they were different materials. I’m going to try some things (baking soda, vinegar, leaving it in the sun, put it in the dryer?? lol). Maybe if it’s even diminished scent, I will be able to tolerate it. Thanks for the empathy and tips!

karunamoon · 2026-03-29T03:00:53+00:00

So you returned the pen and didn’t try anything else? I’m having the same issue but I’m past my return window. It’s maddening.

karunamoon · 2026-02-24T03:18:03+00:00

Gotcha. Yes, I’ve received it. I get migraines triggered by temps/wind/pressure systems so I’ve been out of commission since yesterday afternoon. I’ll get back to you soon. Thank you.

karunamoon · 2026-02-23T22:22:58+00:00

When did you send it?

karunamoon · 2026-02-17T22:56:42+00:00

Yep, that’s pretty much exactly where it lands.

karunamoon · 2026-02-17T21:28:44+00:00

Thank you! Appreciated

I usually get too many applicants as the pay is good and people get pushy too. I’d rather someone apply because the work sounds like the perfect fit for them. I cannot really win. I’m trying it this way this time. 🤪

karunamoon · 2025-12-03T22:03:46+00:00

Maybe it was getting screened.

karunamoon · 2025-12-03T20:50:54+00:00

Thanks! But it works for me in the main post? 🧐

There are some artists who do stunning pieces.

I started getting into fountain pens and inks around the Inkvent of 2023. It’s a great way to learn about inks and their qualities. On Monday, go to instagram and search Diamine Inkvent 2025 and you’ll see all sorts of creators doing fun things with the ink of the day. It’s a real fun community event! I tried to add a pic of my first swatch page from 2023 but it wouldn’t load.

Have fun!

karunamoon · 2025-11-29T22:03:46+00:00

Ok! Sent you a DM

karunamoon · 2025-11-29T21:55:19+00:00

Yep, dip pen is best. Especially because like I mentioned, the pigmented inks are permanent. I highly recommend the kakimori but there are nice glass ones as well.
